Got tired of pinching down barbs. Not a pro tyer, but liked how these worked out in the vise on a handful BWO's. Even if the fish get off the hook before binging 'em all the way in, no problem. I only fish dry, C&R anyway. Cheers.

Best dry fly hook period
Great hook to tie on and holds fish well! It’s kind of a fine wire hook but never breaks! Fantastic hook
